It's a lovely card Joan, I too have stopped using glue-gel (all makes) for the same reason, it is so messy, I much prefer sticky pads, and I too put glue stick on in case I need to move them slightly. The only reason I went to Pinflair (other makes available) was because so many people raved it, so I tried I really did. Anyway you keep up the good work of your card making and stick (no pun intended) to what you like best, if it works for you why change.
